I too will be working with some walnut in the near future. When you say a
decent tight fitting dust mask, do you mean one of the white 'paper' dust
masks or do you mean a cartridge type respirator?

Impossible to predict/say, since each and every case will be dependent upon
the individual woodworker him/herself.

I do seem to have an allergic reaction to at least one aspect of walnut (the
smoke), but a good "paper filter" type dust mask is all it takes to make the
problem disappear for me.

As always, YMMV ...
